"There is no standard background in the Eamon world. One game may involve fighting dragons and orcs with swords and magic. Another may be a Science Fiction adventure with space ships and blazing laser guns. Another quote from the manual:▼
'''''Eamon''''' was a series (over 200 entries!) of [[RPG]] [[Interactive Fiction]] started in the 80s on the [[Apple II]]; set in a very nebulously changing landscape that includes many references to ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'', ''[[Star Wars]]'' and more. Many of the games
▲"Far away, at the dead center of the Milky Way, is the planet of Eamon. It doesn't orbit any suns--all of the suns orbit it.

▲Eamon was a series (over 200 entries!) of [[RPG]] [[Interactive Fiction]] started in the 80s on the [[Apple II]]; set in a very nebulously changing landscape that includes many references to ''[[Lord of the Rings]]'', ''[[Star Wars]]'' and more.

▲What interconnected all of these was that you rolled up a character in the "Main Hall" diskette; with [[Character Customization]], money, and a weapon or spell or two. Then you go out on an adventure via one of the other disks. If you die; unless it's [[Final Death]]; you go back to the Main Hall with a loss of equipment and money. If you survive, you can carry up to 4 weapons; money, spells and sometimes stat increases to another of the adventures.
